Ill be making a new rig end of this month or early next month so far ive come across these 2 cases:

In-Win GRone Full Tower Windowed Case - White/Black - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ktdetailseite&emcs2=CA-030-IW&emcs3=CA-028-IW

and

Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-143-CS

Both i believe suit my needs:
- Windowed Case
- atleast 5 fans space
- Corsair H100 compatability
- ATX motherboard


So what are peoples thought of the 2 cases? this rig that i will be making will be my last one for atleast a long time so i want something that leaves room for upgrade (why the IWIN is in there) and is sort of future proof?

If anyone has any other case for the same price or cheaper(even better) that suit my needs please do post.
 
What's your budget?

It's got to be a Level 10 GT :P

However out of the two you selected it would be the Corsair Carbide 540 every time.

Thought about this?
 
To be honest i personally dont like the look of a cube case the only exception is the 540 simply because i only ever read so many good things about it and looks good aswell.

and i personally think that the In-Win GRone Full Tower Windowed Case - White/Black is such an amazing case but im unsure on the white color and the other other one is metallic black which is a no no. The case alone can support up to 10 fans, is future proof if i ever decide to go watercooling, plenty of room for upgrades..

thats why i cant decide between the 540 and In-WIn and only £15 difference between the 2
 
Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
£80 from other sites around the interwebs. It's a bit more than the Shinobi, but it's a fantastic case. Plenty of room for an H100, loads of cooling options, filters everywhere, nice cable management etc.

I put absolutely zero effort into cable management in my brother's build in his Arc Midi and it looks superb. And what's the point in cable management if your internals are messy?

Definitely worth the extra £25, I'll be using one for my next rebuild
 
Think im go with the corsair 540 everyone seems to love it!
But i just had a look at NZXT Phantom 530 Full Tower Gaming Case and that looks damn good so another doubt

Just had a look at it, decent but is it really worth £80? I wouldve gone for it if it was around 60-65. Rather pay more for the corsair 540 or iwin grone

I bought it for around £70, shop around. And yes, it is better than the Inwin case, tbh they aren't very good. The Air 540 is OK, but I prefer the Arc Midi R2
 
Anyone know if there is any problems setting up h100 on nzxt phantom 410 incase im short on budget for the corsair 540
